The Rev. Charles G. Adams (top right), pastor of the Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit, gave an impassioned address urging people to emulate King and embrace the “dynamics of hope.” Marvalene Hughes (bottom left), president of Dillard University, also delivered remarks and was recognized for leading the “Herculean task” of rebuilding the campus devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Albert Raboteau (bottom right), a longtime Princeton faculty member and one of the nation’s foremost authorities on African-American religious history, was presented with the MLK Day Journey Award for Lifetime Service by President Tilghman.

In addition, the ceremony included music by the Princeton University Jazztet and the presentation of awards to essay, poster and video contest winners (top left) from area schools.
